Original post: both of these chemicals are acids. Acids do not react with other acids, therefore, nothing happens.

THIS IS WRONG!

When mixed, nitric acid and acetic acid can cause dangerous flash fires. This is due to nitric acid being a very strong oxidizing agent and acetic acid being an organic. As a result of the strong oxidizing potential of the nitric acid, all organic acids are stored in separate cabinets.

NOTE: Nitric acid will react vigorously with organics regardless of whether they are acidic or not.

Disclaimer: I have never done this. Hydrofluoric acid is truly nasty stuff.

That said, I wouldn't expect anything particularly spectacular to happen.

It'd be citricky vinegar or vinegary citric, but nothing else would happen because they're both acids and there's usually reaction between acid and acid.

Is nitric acid stronger than acetic acid?

Yes - but do you have the correct meaning of strong in mind? It relates to degree of ionisation, nothing else. Nitiric acid is strong, acetic is weak. Colloquial use of the word strong in respect to acids etc. has no meaning.
